SPEEDY 4teen

The adjustment options and the growing feature offer flexibility

As the seat height and tipping point can be adjusted in 1 cm steps via the wheel plates, the SPEEDY 4teen can adapt to changing needs. This supports advances in wheelchair handing, encouraging the user to become independent and mobile.

The seat width can grow from 26 to 38 cm in 1-cm steps by replacing component groups (depending on the seat width change and the wheelchair equipment, they include the cross-tubes, seat plate/cover, back shell/cover, back cross bar and other component groups depending on the situation), which makes the SPEEDY 4teen a reliable companion for many years.

Sturdy frame for maximum mobility and compatibility

The frame is rated for loads of up to 100 kg. With its torsion-resistant frame, the SPEEDY 4teen has excellent handling characteristics even on rough terrain.

Adapters let you connect traction devices and adaptive bikes in just a few steps, while the sturdy frame ensures optimal handling of the combination. The optional removable wheelbase extension offers even better traction when it is needed. This wheelbase extension adds very little weight to the wheelchair and is easy to attach to the wheelchair without any tools as required.

Compatibility with wheelchair drives like e-fix, e-motion or Twion, for example, can also be provided upon request.

The SPEEDY 4teen is crash-tested. Transport restraint systems for wheelchairs in motor vehicles are available as optional extras, as are crash-tested headrests.

Frame with or without abduction

The SPEEDY 4teen is available with either a straight frame shape or with an abduction design for more leg room. The abduction frame is also used to achieve leg positions required due to specific disabilities. Custom abduction dimensions may be possible upon request.

The frame of the SPEEDY 4teen is customised for the user via 5 selectable frame parameters.

Simple transport

Since tools are not required to remove component groups and the backrest can be optionally folded down, the SPEEDY 4teen is ideal for loading independently.

Option: One-hand operation 

For people with hemiplegia or other restrictions affecting one side of their body, a highly manoeuvrable one-hand operation set-up with a double-gripper wheel drive can be mounted up to a wheel camber of 2°. Different gripper wheel materials, external diameters and distances to the rim meet a wide range of requirements. The drive wheels can be removed using a floating axle for simple handling. 

The one-hand operation set-up can be combined with the 'One-handed knee lever brake'. When the brake on one side is activated, a Bowden cable moves the brake pins on both sides.

Various footrests are available for optimal leg and foot positioning

Besides one-piece footrests, PRO ACTIV also offers footrest that fold up on one side or both sides for the SPEEDY 4teen.

Footrests that fold up to the rear are also available. The ‘Swing back footbar with spring locking mechanism’ is particularly easy to operate. Kicking the heel back against the front edge of the footrest swings the footrest back, offering plenty of space for feet to stand up or transfer. 

Various back systems

The backrest is available as a lightweight adaptable back with back padding (belt system for optimal adjustment of slack and padded lumbar support) or as a sturdy back shell (very sturdy with fixed slack and adjustable lumbar support). As an option, you can choose a backrest that can be folded and adjusted at seven different angles, offering flexible seat positions. It is particularly helpful when using adaptive bikes and traction devices, as the ability to adjust the backrest angle forward (perpendicular to the ground) is very useful to compensate for the raised caster wheels. This feature also allows a small pack size for loading. 

The ERGO Back backrest bar is also available as an option in addition to the adjustable back and the back shell. This backrest bar relieves the strain on your back by allowing you to lean back, and adds an attractive visual touch. The recessed gripping areas mean that you do not need any push handles, and also prevent unwelcome pushing by others.

Range of seat systems

A range of seat systems are available for the SPEEDY 4teen. The ‘body contour’ seat cover provides a cushioning effect, absorbing impacts and helping prevent pressure ulcers. It is highly breathable and sturdy (the material is double-stitched to counteract the ‘hammock’ effect). You can also select seat plates as a sturdy seat system with no slack. 

Wide range of optional extras and accessories

Each SPEEDY 4teen is a customised model, with frame dimensions and equipment that are always tailored to the wheelchair user’s needs. You can choose from a wide range of equipment for the SPEEDY 4teen, including footrests, brakes, push handles, back and seat systems, clothing guards, armrests, as well as drive and caster wheels.
